A member asked:

What can you do to minimize internal scar tissue after back surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Newer Biologics : In the past we had certain chemical materials to prevent scarring around the nerves. Ones own fat from the wound may in some cases help. There are newer biologics such as amniotic membrane that also can reduce scar formation.
